Father Galeoti. the priest who, in order to
revenge himself for an order of suspension in.
flicted upon him for immoral conduct by the
Bishop of Madrid, shot the latter with re-
volver at the doors of the Pro Cathedral on
Palm Sunday last, has been refused commuta-
ten by the Supreme Tribunal, and will be exc
euted by means of the garotte on the plains
outside of Madrid.
Before being executed, Father Galeoti will
be solemnly and publicly degraded from the
priesthood. One by one his ecclesiastical
vestments will be removed from him, and al
ter his head has been shaven to obliterate all
traces of the tonsure, his hands and the crown
of his head will be scraped with blades of steel
in order to erase all traces of the sacred oil
with which he was anointed on entering the
priesthood. During these proceedings dirge
is chanted by the "freres de misericorde," the
cowls of whose monkish garments are drawn
down over their faces, leaving only two little
holes for the eyes. On the conclusion OF the
ceremony the unfortunate man will be seated
on chair with his back against an upright
post fixed into the scaffold. A steel collar,
the ends of which are passed through the post
is fastened round his neck, and as soon as the
yellow bag has been drawn down over bis
face the execueioner gives turn to the wind,
lass, which causes the steel collar to tighten
and at the same time forces the point OF 9
screw against the spinal column, which ii
breaks. The body is then left during the
whole day exposed to the public gaze on the
scaffold. and is only lemoved for burial al

All the world Is at peace except in Louisi-
ana Here, for the purpose of increasing the
tagging interest of the public, a part of the
press of the State is flaming the fires of polit-
ical rivalry or so-called patriotism without
the slightest prospects of accomplishing any
good thereby.
The election does not take place till April,
1888. Is it rather not previous now to raise
the standard of political war, when the arms
that hold the flag must perforce grow weary
before the battle can take place. Besides,
the bitterness that political strife epgenders
will make the long summer ahead unendura-
bly, warm, and candidates do not usually
carry around any quantity of ice with them.
We see in the Picayune of February 9, that
Gov. Nicholas has announced his candidacy
for Governor of the State, and while we agree
with the editor of the Picayune in his en-
coniums on this gentleman, the question oc-
ours, if he lives till then, will he not be as
good a candidate for Governor in year from
now as he is now.

with all the advantages Of the press, the

takes year and a half to properly enlighten
them as to@the merits or demerits of we'll

agitation begun to benefit newspapers who
cannot spare the time to encourage and pro-
mote industrial, commercial, aud agricultural
progress of the State.
Boomlets that are sprung in the spring
barely survive the winters snow, aud We
think that Gov. Nichols friends show woe
full lack of sagacity, in bringing him out to
run ON race track where there are yet no

Eka smie and ID alte.
N. o. City Item.

An interesting address was delivered by
Mr.. Jules Jnvenet on the subject of cnltivat-
ing and decOrticating ramie and jute before the
Interstate Convention at Lake Charles. He
said: Everybody knows now beyond the
shadow of doubt that ramie and jute can be
grown magnifcently in all the Southern
States; and that by the several decortcators
invented in the last two years enough pro-
gress in decorticaton has been achieved to
satisfy the most ineredulous that the problem
of utilization of ramie and iute in America is
practically solved"
Mr.. Juvenet does not propose the abandon
ment of sugar, cotton, or rice cultivation but
recommends ramie or inte as diversitying
crops and not rs the one product OF farm.
He estimates the minimum yearly returns OF
one acre of ramie at $50 and jute $40.
He asserted that the capitalists Of New Or
leans did not have nerve enough to under
take the establishment of the ramie and jnte
manufacturing company, and that the direct
ors of companies formed here expected pro
fit as soon as few hundred dollars had been
disbursed. The remedy is to cali for mtelli-
gent Northern and Western capitalists.
Mr.. Juvenet has an early crop of ramie
which he expects to cat on March 3ist. and
on that day he invites the public to be pres
ent at Audubon Park to witness the cutting,
decorticating and bleaching of ramie by his
decorticator and chemical process.
THE INTERSTATE CONVENTION
took action in the matter by appointing u
committee of ways and means to start ali ex-
perimental plantation of fifty acres ranie aud
fifty acres .jute, the committee to report also
on the experiment OF March 3lst at Audubon
Park.
The Item has strong hope that practical
progress in this important industry will at
length he made.

AttaIsapas and Ope1ousas.

The counties of Attakapas and Opelousas
were established by the Spanish Government,
and the old Spanish grants OF land, Of the last
century, refer to them BY their distinctive
apDellations In the year 1907 the Legislature
Of the then Territory of Orleans divided the
State into nineteen parishes. The county OF
Attakapas was called by this act the parish
Of Sc. Martin and the county of Opelousas
was called the parish of st. Landry. In 1871
the former was divided into two parishes, st.
Mahtin aud ST. Mary. By subsequent legisia-
tion those two were again snbdivided and
now form the five parishes of St. Mary, &c.
Martin, Lafayette, Vermillion and iberia,
which are, properly speaking, the Attakapas
parishes. The parish OF st. Landry remained
Undivided until 1910, when Calcasien was
forrned out of it, extending from the Nez
Piqu6 to the Sabine. st. Landry and Calea,
sieu are now the representatives OF the Old
county Of Opelousas.-St Martin Reveille.
